FAI 2021 Aeromodeling Scholarship Winner Revealed

Kristina Ivanova of Bulgaria Claims The  €2000 Prize

2021 Aeromodeling Scholarship of the FAI Aeromodelling Commission winner Kristina Ivanova of Bulgaria claims a prize of €2000 and a Spirit of Flight diploma.

Kristina’s love of aeromodelling began with her father, who has watched her many successes along the way to her goal to “be part of the Bulgaria National F/B Team.”  She is set to study biomedical engineering, starting a university course in Bulgaria in 2021.

Speaking on her passions, Kristina says “Aeromodelling has always been part of my life thanks to my father who has been practicing this sport in his teenage years. I grew up with his stories about training and competitions and through them, he managed to spark my interest in this hobby. However, it was not until May 2012 when I had the chance to acquire the first-hand experience by taking part in my first Aeromodelling competition and became certain that this is the sport I want to practice. What I like the most about it is that it’s one of the few sports that give you the opportunity to develop both your mathematical/technical knowledge and your physical abilities.”

She notes that she has maintained a training schedule despite being on lockdown due to the pandemic, and plans to use the prize money to renew the equipment she uses for her studies.

Kristina has a few words of advice for other women who have an interest in the sport. “Do not pay attention to those who will underestimate you and who will try to convince you that you won’t perform well just because you practice a sport that is commonly considered to be a “male sport”. Gender does not matter as long as what you do brings you joy and a sense of accomplishment.”
